HEIGHT, WEIGHT & FORTY TIMES

Over the course of the past several months much is said and written about the computer numbers of prospects in the draft. You'll see several differences in these numbers from different sources. We try and be as accurate as possible and give these numbers based on the playing height, weight and speed during each players last collegiate season, not some pumped up artificial number.

There is forty speed and playing speed, playing weight and workout weight. The weeks and months leading to the draft is filled with prospects working hard to specifically add bulk, become stronger or get their forty time down. In reality many of these prospects cannot maintain this weight during the grind of a long season or do not play to the listed stopwatch speed; running backs don't run in a straight-line (which is how the forty yard dash is recorded), the bodies of both offensive and defensive linemen break down and cannot maintain the added bulk or, if they do, they will lose a good amount of quickness and speed.

Where pertinent in the players bio we spoke of either how they performed in recent individual or combine workouts to give you an idea of what direction they are headed.

Bio:

First-year starter who was named First Team All-Big 12 and caught 26 passes for 464 yards and five touchdowns while rushing 14 times for 22 yards and four scores in 2017 to earn an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors and made 11 receptions for 200 yards and four TDs in 2016. Named Honorable Mention All-Big 12 and recorded eight catches for 130 yards and four scores as a sophomore.

Pos:

Productive lead blocker who is much more athletic than his size and speed numbers would dictate. Displays vision, plays with a nasty attitude and works to get a pad on defenders to disrupt them from their angles of attack. Solid short-yardage runner with the ability to break tackles. Effective pass catcher who adjusts and extends to make receptions away from his frame. Presents himself as a legitimate intermediate pass-catching threat despite his 40 time.

Neg:

Must pick up his blocking intensity. Average quickness.

Analysis:

Flowers was a solid three-way fullback for Oklahoma who was effective as a blocker, ball carrier and pass catcher. He’s best suited as a fullback in a west coast offense.
